The Gospel Song

from The People I Know by Crazy Old Maurice

/

lyrics

When I reach those pearly gates, I’ll turn around and make it rain
On all those poor old dyin’ souls who thirst below
I’m a bit tied up right now, but when tomorrow rolls around
I will help my fellow man like I’ve been told

Don’t you know your heart is only growing cold?

I will not abet the violence that I see on city streets
But I will watch ten thousand murders on my screen
TV shows or news at night, entertainment I’ll derive
As long as it’s not here and it’s not happenin’ to me

Don’t you know you’re losing your humanity?

Don’t you know the value of a single soul?

If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take
Lord knows I took enough souls on my own
Not with bullets from a gun, just ain’t been helping anyone
And when I die, I’ll die like I lived, all alone

Don’t you know a man can’t reach God’s throne alone?
